Read moreIt is a good feeling that this “thing” is almost over. COVIC-19 that is. Yesterday Chad Kaminski (Pastor of First Baptist Church) said that we Baptist would start up church on June 7 . He thinks that is when the other churches in town will start up too. It is a good thing to contemplate, getting to sit with your church family at worship. He did say, however, that he would like to sort of segregate us into “family” families. Well OK. I guess. We’ve sort of been isolated together long enough.

IF YOU SEE HOLDENVILLE MAYOR JOHNNY MASSAD, or anyone who works for the Holdenville street and water departments, be sure and give them a big, “thank you” for all of their extra efforts in stopping a major water leak on Kelkar Street. The mayor was right alongside his employees, shin deep in gushing water from 9:15 in the morning until 10:00 at night trying to stop this leak. After three clamps and several laborious man hours, the city was still unsuccessful in stopping a leak caused by damage to this extent. Outside contractors are being contacted to resolve the issue as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience in dealing with low water pressures and the current boil order while the city moves forward with the repairs. As of press time (6:00pm Wednesday) water had been shut off to much of the Holdenville area. They were hoping to have it back on sometime Wednesday evening. When we have additional information it will be posted on our website. hughescountytribune.com.
